About the Item
Map of Scandinavia – Antique Atlas Map by A. Levasseur, France, 1875
This elegant 19th-century map titled Carte des Royaumes de Suède, de Norvège et de Danemark presents a finely detailed view of Scandinavia, including Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, along with parts of Finland and the Baltic coastline. It was published in 1875 by French cartographer A. Levasseur as part of his Atlas de Géographie Moderne Physique et Politique, a highly regarded atlas known for its scientific precision and clear aesthetic.
The map captures the political and geographical divisions of the time with crisp engravings and subtle hand coloring that distinguishes national and regional boundaries. Key cities such as Stockholm, Oslo (then Christiania), Copenhagen, and Helsinki are marked, along with major rivers, mountain ranges, and transportation routes. Insets of Iceland and the Faroe Islands enhance the broader geographic context.
Levasseur’s atlases were widely used in schools and by scholars throughout Europe during the 19th century. His maps were admired for their balance between informative content and decorative clarity, and this example remains an excellent representation of that tradition.
This particular edition is notable for its relatively large format and fine lithographic quality, offering both visual appeal and scholarly interest. It would make a striking addition to a collection focused on Scandinavian history, political geography, or 19th-century European cartography.
Condition report: Very good condition. General age toning, mostly visible in the wide margins. Centerfold as issued with no damage. A clean and well-preserved example with a blank verso.
Framing tips: A dark cherry or satin black frame with a cool-toned mat (light grey or pale blue) complements the map's subtle hand coloring and enhances its classical style. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve its tones.
